Battery health? >System Preference>Battery

If you are referencing the new Battery Health Management..

—this feature is limited to Mac laptops with Thunderbolt 3 ports. That equates to all MacBook Pro models released since late 2016 and the Retina-capable MacBook Air models released since 2018.

You never stated what exact Mac this is. I see no Touchbar ...(?) in the sideways screen shot you posted.

>About this Mac will tell you all you need to know

If this is not a late 2016 or new as pointed out above—you will not have the BHM, and you never will on this machine.

please advise...

Have you clicked on the battery icon > show battery percentage? Or is this not appearing either?

You can also go to System Preferences > Energy Saver > and make sure the check box (Show battery status in menu bar) is checked.
